An enjoyable read.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Interesting that he was a fan of Taboo.

What's funny, Capn, is that I had four different people e-mail this to me last night. re: TIME Magazine Asks Stephen Sondheim 10 Questions I seriously think that's a sign I've got to tone down the obsession a bit.

What do you really think of Adam Guettel's work?

Haha, I know what you mean, StickToPriest. I get Peter Pan articles constantly.

"I read this article and thought those were not the questions I'd be asking him....what would you ask?"

Do you really have a bondage dungeon in your house? Is that how Neil Patrick Harris got cast in Assassins?

Was your neighbor Katherine Hepburn really the source for Mrs. Lovett?

Priest, that amused me a great deal.

I'd heard before that he loved Taboo and I like that he gave something that's very different from his own style a chance. And he doesn't have perfect pitch? That's like almost suggesting that Sondheim is flawed....

"Taboo. I thought it was inventive, and I was touched by it, and I thought it looked good. All the way through I had a good time. And a few of the songs really moved me. I got involved in it--and it's not my kind of music."

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

*gasp*

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..


*gasp*

eeeeeeeeeeeee-*passes out*

(I liked Taboo, too. I'm really happy that Sondheim agrees with me)
